Answer: 1.75 square feet
This converts to the improper fraction 7/4
======================================================
Work Shown:
3/4 = 0.75
area of triangle on the left = base*height/2 = 0.75*2/2 = 0.75 sq ft
area of triangle on the right = base*height/2 = 1*2/2 = 1 sq ft
total area = 0.75+1 = 1.75 sq ft
This converts to the improper fraction 7/4 because
1.75 = 1 + 0.75
1.75 = 1 + 3/4
1.75 = 4/4 + 3/4
1.75 = (4+3)/4
1.75 = 7/4
